And here I was sitting back & relaxing & thinking that only I am appearing for UPSEE 2018. Thought I would be AIR 1 (never gonna happen). Now I think I will be AIR 2. And this will go on till the exam ends. May be I clear the exam.

It is actually a very complicated process. You can take a look at their website on their 'equating methodology'.

In short, it simply means that your final rank in VITEEE is based on your percentile. There would be a list of rankings made for each slot of exam. All those slots would be combined and made into a new rank list based on your percentile.

Yeah.. and that is so strange. If you sit on an unlucky day where a lot of toppers/top students come, then you will have a hard time. This system is just BS. Better take the effort to make uniform papers(like Bitsat) and reveal the scores and give a rank based on proofed merit.

That first answer given there is absolutely Bul$#!T ... Dude there is no reason for a national level institute to alter ranks ... They do have a management quota , and if they want money they can just add 100 more seats to it! No institution will ever turn down better students for money

The rank of the Institute depends on the students that come there , so all these conspiracies are stupid...

The only thing true is that they take percentile instead of absolute marks , so there is a slight chance you may go back a few ranks , if a lot of bright students appear for the exam on same day as you ,but frankly there is a very less chance for it , because there are 2 lakh + students writing the exam

@Aswin_Unni
Thats exactly the point I made.
However, VIT does have management quota where you get admission based on the money you pay. The more money you pay the better batches you get. Now thats business. Nothing else. And the exam and calculation of ranks system is already flawed. So a lot of things look shady.

I know the system could be a Little fishy
But if you really look at it , most of the people end up around half of the rank they are expecting in Mains , and vit probably has half of the serious aspirants giving the paper. So , not really a surprise ...
Maybe people in general feel they have done the paper better than they actually have because they don't have the paper to revisit the mistakes they might have made . The same thing happens to me after giving online coaching mock papers , I generally expect way more than what I end up getting ...

It's VIT bro. There's a reason why they don't disclose marks.
I am sure I should've gotten atleast 80+ correct in the exam. I got 44K. Can anyone explain this to me? I know you can't, no one can; as the VIT system is not transparent. Mostly, this is why people doubt the system. Had they alotted marks alongwith the ranks, scenario may would have been different.
So just chill and bid farewell to VITEEE. Atleast, am going to; no choice.
